Nugget of Knowledge
"Understand that you will be like those with whom you surround yourself. Your environment is stronger than you are." - Chinese Proverb
What do you want? Do your choices support your wants and goals? If not- make a change today. Call a good influence and schedule time to meet. Be around those that are kinder, smarter, more patient, more flexible. Surround yourself with examples that you want to emulate. -Amy
